BREAKING NEWS

Also, my congrats to my older Brother John and his wife Dana for creating another Drake to terrorize the world!

Happy 2008!

Jam and I were in Split, Croatia to ring in the New Years (along with many good friends, some old, some new, as captured so nicely by Saki.). We're back in the ATL now, enjoying some spring like weather, which is going to come to an abrupt end this week as we venture up to Michigan.

Happy New Years to everyone, here's a little treat Jam was playing earlier today....I've been many places in this world, yet the Carib. countries always impress me with their party music!

And from me, some sage advice for the new year for all you go-getters out there:

Roland - "I tell you what I see when I look out there. I see the undeveloped resources of Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, and Michigan. I see a syndicated development consortium exploiting over a billion and a half dollars in forest products. I see a paper mill and if the strategic metals are there, a mining operation. A greenbelt between the condos on the lake and a waste management facility focusing on the newest rage in toxic waste, medical refuse. Infected bandages, body parts, IV tubing, contaminated glassware, entrails, syringes, fluids, blood, low grade radioactive waste all safely contained sunken in the lake and sealed for centuries. Now I ask you what do you see?"

Chet- "I see trees."

peace, ya'll

Feliz Navidad!

Tugbacim, the Jif is on it's way! Next stop: Croatie.

Going, Going, Gone...

Nothing, nothing, nothing, and then everything. Shortly before noon on November 3 a tired (confused?), jet-lagged, red-eyed Belizean accepted my proposal of marriage (tobias funke-like). She never even saw it coming--I didn't want her to know anything was up so I tired to act as normally as possible e.g. I slept past my alarm and was consequently late arriving at the airport for her 6am arrival. Thanks to all who helped us through the years. It hasn't always been easy, but we weathered the storms and are now stronger because of it!

Now it's off to Panama for a few days so I leave you with some Fijian music (?) It's one of the first songs I ever played for Jamel and probably about the time she realized I was crazy. And so while Panama may not be Fiji, it does promise to offer some peace of mind and the reminder that while others may not have much as we do, they often have more fun;)

Damn, wonder if I'll get sent to the Congo..

By Lubunga Bya'Ombe

KINSHASA, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Authorities placed two towns in southern Democratic Republic of Congo in quarantine on Tuesday to contain an outbreak of Ebola haemorrhagic fever, a deadly disease for which there is no treatment.

Health authorities in Congo's southern province of Kasai Occidental had reported more than 160 deaths among 352 sick people in the past four months due to a mystery fever.

Five samples sent to a laboratory in Gabon and the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed the presence of the Ebola virus, Health Minister Victor Makuenge Kaput said late on Monday...[more]

Glory Dayz...

"Omg, that trip will be in my mind forever! I will never forget how we missed our train back from Prague...and we had to transfer like 4 times in the middle of the night, with no one speaking English, a man with a drug-sniffing dog and a crowbar in the train car, and the urine smell on my sneakers from the pee-soaked bathroom floor! Oh, and how you got thrown in a Czech jail when we slept our way through the border...and getting locked in Aschewitz! Do you have the video from that trip??? I would LOVE to see it!"

We'll they'll pass you by, Glorhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.italic.gif
